00:00This is Tornado Alley, an area of the central plains within the political borders of an
00:18area referred to by some as the United States.
00:33Its southern edge begins near the present-day borders of Texas and Oklahoma.
00:36The alley then stretches northward into central Canada, taking its name from its prevalence
00:41of tornadoes, the region's resident mythical monster.
00:54Why an alley and not a road, an avenue, or a parkway, I don't know.
00:59Perhaps it's due to the regions in between this, on a continent historically defined
01:03by its east and west.
01:06This is flyover country, after all.
